2 Iraqi policemen killed, 2 wounded in overnight ISIS attack: official
[Rudaw] Two federal coppers were killed and another two maimed in a suspected Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(ISIS) attack near Daquq, south of Kirkuk,
... a thick stew of Arabs, Turkmen, Kurds, and probably Antarcticans, all of them mutually hostile most of the time...
in the early hours of Monday, according to local officials.

Monday’s assault is only the latest in a series of attacks in the Daquq area attributed to the group, causing outrage among locals.

"At 1am [local time] on Monday, ISIS snuffies attacked a base of the federal police near Ali Sara village, killing two coppers and wounding another two," Omed Hussein, commander of the Kakais Regiment associated with Hashd al-Shaabi in Daquq, confirmed to Rudaw.

The officers, newly stationed in the village to help plug security gaps, came under mortar fire, Hussein said, claiming the attackers were only repelled "with the help of Iraqi aircraft" an hour later.
